Roofing inspections are designed to identify and fix problems before they can cause severe damage. Even if there aren’t any issues present, scheduling an annual commercial roof inspection is a simple, cost-effective way to ensure that your roofing system is in good condition.
If you own or manage a commercial property and can’t recall the last time you scheduled a commercial roof inspection, our team at McRae Roofing, Inc. encourages you to give us a call right away. Below, we’ll also go over three signs that your building is overdue for a commercial roof inspection.
- Age. Roofs last years, but they are not invincible. The typical lifespan of your commercial building’s roof will depend on its material. Metal roofs can last several decades before needing replacement, but a typical shingle roof lasts between 20 and 30 years. As your roof ages, you’ll want to prioritize commercial roof inspection services to catch issues before they worsen.
- Signs of leaks or water damage. Water damage can cause extensive problems for both interior and exterior materials. Watch out for signs of water damage or leaks, such as any sagging along the edge of your roof, visible mold spots, or water damage on walls or ceilings.
- Visible damage. Any sort of obvious damage to your roof, such as missing or broken shingles, is a clear indicator that you need repair services. To address the root cause of the issue, you’ll want a professional to conduct a thorough commercial roof inspection before handling the necessary repairs.
If your commercial building needs a roof inspection or other roofing service, don’t hesitate to give us a call today.
